How many clubs would like to be able to share their clubroom costs and overheads with another organisation? What have you done to look at the possibilities?
As a first step, a club representative should come to the WCC workshop on Community Partnerships to be held on Wednesday 24 June in the Mezzanine Meeting Room, Wellington Central Library, Victoria Street
Community Partnerships will be critical in the context of the current economic environment. The range of speakers at this workshop will share case studies, practical steps, and build on research to enable local organisations the opportunity to consider benefits on creating community partnerships.

Another reminder about the need to make certain all your administrators and volunteers (as well as your players and coaches) have registered this year. Are all your committee registered?
Rugby New Zealand 2011 (RNZ 2011) has indicated that it will be developing specific offers for the New Zealand rugby community and that it expects that any such offer will be made to players, referees, coaches, volunteers and administrators registered for the 2009 season. Please note that as RNZ 2011 is still developing the ticketing strategy, this indication of the availability of specific offers is not a binding commitment by RNZ 2011 to make an offer of Rugby World Cup tickets, and any offer that is made in no way guarantees access to tickets.
If you would like to receive any information from RNZ 2011 about the Rugby World Cup 2011, you must make sure you tick the box on the registration form. If you have any questions, please contact Kirsty Wanden.
This registration form is available here.
